There is something so simple, and yet so powerful to the last line in this... And the second to last line is just as effective with the blatant way it asks that one simple question that no-one seems to answer. Anyways, I really liked this.

wow, you got everything I've been trying to say into like 10 words. quite amazing. you're quite good at languages aren't you? English, Norwegian (that's what you speak in Norway I presume?) and Japanese. Is Norway involved in Iraq? I thought you normally stay out of conflict like Switzerland.

I wish that I could read Japanese. I would love to be able to read and maybe even comprehend the poem in Japanese. I liked the simplicity of the poem and the way that there wass single words in the beginning, moving into longer sentences, kind of like how war progresses and intensifies as time goes on (or even how the death toll mounts).
